Kobe and Tiger are the only 2 athletes I have ever truly been in awe of. He would do things on the court I couldn't believe. I'm not a big NBA fan but he was must see TV. I hope he gets a dignified celebration of life and then things quiet down for his family to grieve as best they can without it being trivialized. This is really sad. Prayers to the 4 other passengers as well, who will not get the same attention.
Unreal. Fucking chopper did him in. I kept hearing rumblings in the sky that were not normal all night. Made me go outside more than once. It was rolling thunder.
They're keeping it so quiet about the other 4 passengers, that it makes me believe one of his daughters was on board
@wojespn Sources: Kobe Bryant was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter Gianna when the helicopter crashed. Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent. ......
Dude. And Kobe was also coaching Zach Randolph's daughter. She was playing on the same team as his daughter
Jeff PassanVerified account@JeffPassan 10m10 minutes ago The loss of Kobe Bryant is unfathomable. The loss of his daughter Gianna, who had such a long life ahead of her, is even more heartbreaking.
Games should be cancelled but that's awesome of both teams @JMcDonald_SAEN Raptors take a 24-second violation after winning the tip, in honor of No. 24. Entire arena applauds. "Kobe!" chants break out. @JMcDonald_SAEN Spurs do it too. Now it's a standing ovation. Link: https://twitter.com/TyJagerRadio/status/1221542234258055169
People on their way to Staples. Gonna be one of those camps outside Staples. Like when fans wanted Jeanie out
